@Ryerye Keeley Gibbons are apes in the family Hylobatidae. The family historically contained one genus, but now is split into four extant genera and 20 species. Gibbons live in subtropical and tropical rainforest from eastern Bangladesh to Northeast India to southern China and Indonesia. There. Need me to change your diaper too?
@@frownyclowny6955 during the AI Crushes All Banks stream, Benry joined a game or two in, but playing as John Wick, under the username "Johnwicklover1994" and acted like a weirdo for a heist, until he went back to being regular Benry for the rest of the stream
Not to mention he sort of swapped the fanon design alignments of bubby and Coomer, usually Coomer is the more round soft one while bubby is the sharp one
I just want to know why Benrey looks probably the most normal despite himself claiming that he isn’t human, and his numerous contortions once his true form shows
i just noticed that in the little parts with coomer going "YEAH" more clones join in and then in the end its just one again covered in blood god DAMN ALL THESE DETAILS.
Oh yeah i had this idea that before GMan abandoned Tommy (they said that in a BTS or something i think) he would just make everything by hand, his like, perfect ordinary world for tommy. So this is the perfect chuck e cheese, all for tommy, back in the good ole days
Alright, jaw successfully relocated, let's do this. Things I love about this: -Everything about the opening scene. Little Tommy is adorable and Gman being such a sweet father. They're at Chuck E Cheese's!! There's a Sunkist picture on the wall!! Some areas have missing textures, as if Gman is the one keeping this place loaded for Tommy :) -Gman uses playcoin currency -Fucked up little prototype bubby in a tube. he stares into your soul -The way bubby's coat flows when he moves -Coomer having noticeably less polygons compared to everyone else -The soda cans on the table -(Coomer windows XP booting noises) -The camera turn at 0:34 -Benry's whole design. Literally everything about it -The boys playing vidyagaims :) -How the FUCK did Benry kill 45 opponents in a round of CS:GO -Sunkist looking up at the commotion like a real dog would!! -Is that Wolfenstein 3D behind the Coomer clones? -THAT WHOLE XEN SEQUENCE. Gordon losing his fucking mind and flailing his arms around. Benry's poses as he sings (dorime Benry real) -"NICE >:D" -Coomer clones are multiplying. Help -You can see the mouse moving behind the keyboard!! Insane animator pays very close attention to detail, more at 11 -Demonight TF2 -Everyone watching Darnold play TF2 with various levels of involvement (Also coomer looks baked out of his mind djkafhksdj) -Being gordos is suffering -Coomer who did you kill this time? Did you go too hard in super punch out for the super nintendo entertainment system? -WOAH! Gordon with PTSD! Fucked up if true And, lastly, the animation itself. i flapped my hands so hard the first time i saw this they hurt a bit akfshdkj Anyway I hope you know just how much I adore this
That's a good point actually. I just checked a gameplay video and the walls seem slightly less detailed here, as well as a different ceiling color. Nice catch jkahsdkljf
My two favorite parts of this whole thing: G-Man showing Tommy how a jukebox works Benrey and Tommy having fun playing videogames together Those two moments are just so wholesome, I love it!
@@ihavefakenames_ people say Tommy doesn't have a superpower unlike Coomer, Bubby, and Benrey, but a little known fact is that Tommy's power is to automatically make any interaction wholesome
I feel like this video captures the difference between what Wayne as Gordon was experiencing while trying to be the serious main character compared to his friends who were basically just fucking around in gmod the whole time
Here’s every little detail I found, some I don’t mention. 0:13 G-Man uses a PlayCoin for the machine 0:16 The back of the seats are untextured, and so is the bathroom. On the wall, there’s pictures, which are Sunkist, Minions, Soda, and...I can’t tell. 0:21 In a jar, there’s a fetus of Bubby, referencing he was born in Black Mesa, there’s also a Headcrab, and the “Pita Bread Cutter” 0:26 Sunkist can, and a Coca-cola cherry flavored soda can, on the telle, it’s a show trying to identify the father (I do not know the specific show, I just thought it was funny to mention) 0:28 Soda 0:30 A little obvious, but this was the tube Bubby was trapped in, in HLVR:AI Act 3, Part 2. 0:34 Dr. Coomer, with a start up screen 0:38 Benry's username is johnwicklover1994, hinting he’s 26, also Benry and Tommy are playing Counter Strike: Global Offense, but that’s kinda obvious. 0:41 Coomer clones join, with the old Windows maze screen 0:49 Even MORE Coomer clones, at a background of a fighting game. 0:50 Darnold is playing Team Fortress 2, as a Demoknight, hinted by the Australium Eyelander 0:52 Black Mesa silly straw behind Bubby's back, Soda in the background, on the desk are many of those can marks (No idea what their actual name is) 0:56 Only Dr. Coomer remains, covered in blood, at the Game Over screen, meaning he killed his clones
OH NICE FINDS. Yes, also one more in the bit where Freemans on his knees with benrey in the BG is a reference to the BTS footage of Gordon in VR, where he does the weird gibbon stance.
When it comes to the tiny picture frame in the Chuck e’ Cheese, it looks like a photo of a few people, either 2 or 3. So it could be a family photo of Tommy, G-Man, and I’m guessing Tommy’s mother (if there are 3 people there.)
I. I'm actually having trouble trying to express how good this is. I'll be back to organize my thoughts better once I manage to pick up my jaw from the floor
Bruh your character designs are STUNNING... Like it's stylized but realistic and also fits them perfectly?? Tommy Actually looks like a fuckin adult which seems hard for a lot of people to do lmao. Idk how to describe it they just all look PERFECT, PLUS the coloring and movement... is SPECTACULAR?? In the bit with Benrey and Tommy playing cod using their yellow and blue for the couch/background was brilliant! Also Gordon's ape crouch was... magnificént
Watching this without knowing anything about half life or the half-life AI series made me go on a binge watch of all the acts and now I feel enlightened.
omg Gordon in the ape crouch hahahah! This is AMAZINGLY well done, and you get all the extra bonus points for using a VERY perfect Gman with Tommy :D (My fanfic Repurposed he has a great love of unusual music just to throw off people who think he's just a stuffed shirt :D )
the characters are drawn in a way that feels really accurate to the series, accurate to the models in hl, and feelings and mannerisms are so authentically expressed through the characters. there’s all these little references and details strewn about without making the space feel too complicated. this short animation feels a lot longer than it is and is so re-playable. it’s SO satisfactory. it feels like the attention given to each of the characters is equally distributed, like there’s thorough and genuine love for each of them, like there’s so much love for hlvr:ai as a whole. it’s REALLY gorgeous. and on top of all that i’ve been introduced to an amazing song, thank you for sharing this with the world. impeccable. my thoughts are hard to articulate and properly express and i’ve edited this several times, but i think i’ve finally managed to be understood. i hope i‘ve managed to be understood. thank you!
This is my favorite depiction of Benry. All other animations I've seen always depict him as somewhat monstrous even in human form, jagged teeth, yellow eyes, etc. But here he's just a normal guy. He looks a bit evil while concentrating on the game with Tommy, not sure if that was intentional or just supposed to be the shadow from his helmet. Either way my favorite animated version of him.
That part at the end with Benry looking down on Gordon wearing the VR headset while the lyrics "THIS ANIMAL'S PROGRAMMABLE, THE NOTES ARE ON THE SCREEN." was actually *spinechilling* dude
OH MY GOD...... this is incredible. The Bubby vibes are Impeccable. The leg cross in front of the monitor is phenomenal. Tommy is fantastic; I love the intro with him and G-man. Benrey and Tommy's cheering when they win is so cute, and Darnold gaming in his laboratory while Gordon has a panic attack in the background is SO good.
I watched this with no knowledge whatsoever on what HLVRAI was, then watched the whole series and came back to watch this again. The way everything in this animation now makes perfect sense is hilarious, as before absolutely NOTHING made sense AT ALL lol.
Had the original HLVRAI series pop up in my recommendations again this week, which immediately dragged my memory of this video back into my consciousness! It’s still so fucking good what a masterpiece
I just noticed that Gman puts a Playcoin into the jukebox, I'm not sure if anyone noticed that before but daymn there was so much attention to detail in this animation
Your art style fits it perfectly. It matches the OG Half Life 1 models. Most people try to make them all cutesy, or exaggerate physical details, or make their own character designs, but I like this more. (Not that those other things are bad, I just personally like this more.) It matches the chaotic, but well put together tone of the series. In simpler words: I really like your art style. Edit: Like, it's realistic proportions, Coomers hair being polygonal, Bubby and Coomer actually looking old, Benrey just looks like a regular dude, Tommy looks 36, (Gordon is Gordon, Darnold is Darnold, G-man is G-man.) the clear correlations to things that happened throughout the series, at 0:40 Gordon doing the weird monkey pose thing due to VRMod not being able to understand laying down, Gordon has a VR headset and controllers (sometimes), Bubby doing poses in his tube is just very nice, Coomer being very if not completely deadpan, the way Coomer opens his mouth matching the model, the increase of clones each time there's a "Yeah!", up until the final one, where there's only one bloody Coomer, you remembered Darnold, Gordon freaking out about his gun hand, the Coomer coin, how G-man and young Tommy are in the Chuck E Cheese, which has missing textures like the original, Benry doing poses whilst using the Black Mesa Sweet Voice (Wowozela)... IT'S ALL JUST SO GOOOOOOOD! You clearly have an appreciation for the series. I applaud you.
GOD I LOVE THIS SO MUCH i rewatched the twitter version over and over before discovering its here on youtube too and like. im in love. the intro is perfect, i keep catching more little details each time i watch, gordon wiggling around in the ape crouch is Amazing, i love how you draw everybody, im!! THIS IS GOOD!!!
i keep rewatching this. i really love how it captures the general weirdness of hlvrai, a lot of other animatics i see are good but this one specifically stands out because it's just so odd in the best way possible
bro like... the fact you played so heavily into the old 2000s imagery of half life. the way you've drawn em all is my favourite too. like... it just feels like steam and valve. you condensed it all into this video. this rocks dude.
* I AM REWACHING THIS SO MUCH *I LOVE THE EXPRESSIONS* NO ONE ELSE HAS DONE THEM RIGHT THE WAY I WANT THEM IT'S PERFECT*!!! IT'S JUST HOW I IMAGINED IT!!!!🧡
My favorite parts are the opening “this is my office and my laboratory” shots and the whole sequence in xen with Benrey singing. Gordon’s horror and disbelief shaking his head and lip syncing “it’s a musical machine!” kills me and in the next part I can never decide between focusing on him or benrey because there’s so much good stuff going on with both.
by FAR my favourite fan creation for HLVRAI, it feels so professional and smooth & all the little touches are fantastic (chef kiss) you can feel the love in every frame
Okay I need to talk about this I adore when animators will sacrifice frames for good key posing and staying consistently on model. Clearly you go all in when a gesture needs a lot of motion, but little things like coomer turning to Gordon only needs like a few frames to get the motion across, and personally I think it looks great like this. And PLEASE MAKE MORE SOME DAY!! I love the way you draw these characters, the style is just 👌
This is awesome !!!! I have watched it about 20 times now ahaha, and damn that music slaps ! The zoom on Benrey while he's playing is such a cool shot, and the opening is legitimately heartwarming
This animation has lowkey changed my life. I use this song as my alarm in the morning and it’s perfect to get up and dance to. Thank u for the beautiful animation! I get so happy when Tommy and Benrey win in CS:GO
Hooooooooly shit this encompassed the terrifying retro-futuristic vibe of this series perfectly. The slow build up of Coomer's terrifying persona, Wayne's character slowly going mad as Benry torments him, and the psychotic anger of Bubby is perfectly conveyed in less than 1 minute. This is not only the perfect example of telling a story as simply as possible, but also an example of how much meaning art can convey in so much less time that explaining it using words.
This is possibly the best fan animation of HLVR that isn't "haha cutesy shipping time fun time" and more of "I actually wanted to make something that expresses how good of an artist and animator I am, and expresses my love for the series in a way that caters to all fans of the series." Proud of you.
This popping up in my recommended a few months back is what introduced me to HLVRAI in the first place, so now that it's shown up again, I've been reminded to thank you for introducing me to this rabbit hole.
yknow, I don’t think I ever commented on this! the animation really is stellar, huge fan of the Gibbon Gordon pose in your style
Oh my gosh thank you sm wayner!! Much love, this series made me so happy

hahaha Benry's screen name is "Johnwicklover1994" someone did their homework
THE ACAB STREAMMM
Hyperdrifter20 pls explaiiin :
@@frownyclowny6955 during the AI Crushes All Banks stream, Benry joined a game or two in, but playing as John Wick, under the username "Johnwicklover1994" and acted like a weirdo for a heist, until he went back to being regular Benry for the rest of the stream
hey drez
But Johnwicklover1994 was Benry's brother not Benry.
Bubby screaming "AND MY LABORATORY" with that god damn lab coat flying around looks SOOO GOOOOD
IKR!!!
It fits him too
YEAH!
Correct!
it rubs my artist brain the right way
i LOVE how coomer looks the least human its such a small detail but its so accurate it hurts
Coomer is on a slider of humanity. Some times he looks right, other times he doesn't.
Bubby is a experiment
Not to mention he sort of swapped the fanon design alignments of bubby and Coomer, usually Coomer is the more round soft one while bubby is the sharp one
I just want to know why Benrey looks probably the most normal despite himself claiming that he isn’t human, and his numerous contortions once his true form shows
And how Coomer looks kinda laggy in his movements while everyone else is smooth, referencing Holly's shit ass internet
Benrey saying "NICE" was the callback I didn't know I needed.
"you killed someone /:"
"YES,,,, I DID,,,"
"niiice (:"
“Oh, hey Benry. Hey Benry. Hey bud.”
“nice”
"You killed someone?"
*"Yes. Yes! I did! The people in the elevator!"*
"nice."
"I- *WHEEZE* "
Nice!
I love how you haven't forgotten about Darnold, everybody seems to just ignore him, even though he was the second funniest character in my opinion.
He is vry vry funny, especially in the bank heist stream!!
I love him so much I want him to be in the second one a lot more
he didnt say much but he was semi smart with a hint of dumb
Especially how they were playing tf2 and they were talking about it in the actual video nice detail I'm pretty sure they were a demonight
@@bradbradleyart Eli is black, so i believe we will see him in Black Mesa East.
i just noticed that in the little parts with coomer going "YEAH" more clones join in and then in the end its just one again covered in blood
god DAMN ALL THESE DETAILS.
*kill.*
- Dr. Harold Coomer PhD
Do not forget the pink/black missing textures at the beginning.
Also in the background when Dr. Coomer is in blood it says game over
Also also the screen is from punch out a game coomer talked about because he knew his world was a lie
his power grows
I love how Coomer's hair is just a trapezoid
Correct!
I AM IN AWE YOU REALLY JUST WALKED IN HERE AND GAVE US THIS MASTERPIECE
It's bloody glorious
What you mean
yooooo oddowl
Oddowl he had his passport
@Luan Leonardo nah time freezes and gman shows you this THIS IS WHAT WAS IN THE BRIEF CASE
I love the way Bubby moves on "AND MY LABRATORY"
it looks like he farted and it blew his coat back
and honestly i wouldn't put it past him
I've WATCHED THIS LIKE 10 TIMES, BUT I JUST NOW REALIZED AT 0:15 YOU CAN SEE PARTS OF THE CHUCK-E-CHEESE IS NOT TEXTURED, WHAT A GOOD DETAIL
Oh yeah i had this idea that before GMan abandoned Tommy (they said that in a BTS or something i think) he would just make everything by hand, his like, perfect ordinary world for tommy. So this is the perfect chuck e cheese, all for tommy, back in the good ole days
@@bradbradleyart that's so precious
I have it in me to make a freakin essay about how awesome all the details are in this. There are SO MANY. SO. MANY.
its not missing textures its missing cubemaps smh my head
@@shurbrrt gmod uses that for missing textures
I like that Benrey and Tommy celebrating startles Sunkist
I love how they got Sunkists size right too
They genetically engineered him big
this just lives rent free in my mind forever. I’m going to carry this with me to my deathbed
alright there blubsar

Alright, jaw successfully relocated, let's do this. Things I love about this:
-Everything about the opening scene. Little Tommy is adorable and Gman being such a sweet father. They're at Chuck E Cheese's!! There's a Sunkist picture on the wall!! Some areas have missing textures, as if Gman is the one keeping this place loaded for Tommy :)
-Gman uses playcoin currency
-Fucked up little prototype bubby in a tube. he stares into your soul
-The way bubby's coat flows when he moves
-Coomer having noticeably less polygons compared to everyone else
-The soda cans on the table
-(Coomer windows XP booting noises)
-The camera turn at 0:34
-Benry's whole design. Literally everything about it
-The boys playing vidyagaims :)
-How the FUCK did Benry kill 45 opponents in a round of CS:GO
-Sunkist looking up at the commotion like a real dog would!!
-Is that Wolfenstein 3D behind the Coomer clones?
-THAT WHOLE XEN SEQUENCE. Gordon losing his fucking mind and flailing his arms around. Benry's poses as he sings (dorime Benry real)
-"NICE >:D"
-Coomer clones are multiplying. Help
-You can see the mouse moving behind the keyboard!! Insane animator pays very close attention to detail, more at 11
-Demonight TF2
-Everyone watching Darnold play TF2 with various levels of involvement (Also coomer looks baked out of his mind djkafhksdj)
-Being gordos is suffering
-Coomer who did you kill this time? Did you go too hard in super punch out for the super nintendo entertainment system?
-WOAH! Gordon with PTSD! Fucked up if true
And, lastly, the animation itself. i flapped my hands so hard the first time i saw this they hurt a bit akfshdkj
Anyway I hope you know just how much I adore this
Thank you so much for pointing all of these out. It made the experience like new again going back to catch every detail I missed!
I think the implication is supposed to be Dr. Coomer kills all his clones!
I don't think that's Wolf3D, the floor and roof have separate textures (and actually have textures,) which I don't think the engine could do
That's a good point actually. I just checked a gameplay video and the walls seem slightly less detailed here, as well as a different ceiling color. Nice catch jkahsdkljf
Valduin Found what it is behind coomer clones, Is A windows Exp screensaver that is a maze! You can find a video of the screensaver on RUclips easily.
My two favorite parts of this whole thing:
G-Man showing Tommy how a jukebox works

Those two moments are just so wholesome, I love it!
Every moment with Tommy is wholesome

Here’s every little detail I found, some I don’t mention.
0:13 G-Man uses a PlayCoin for the machine
0:16 The back of the seats are untextured, and so is the bathroom. On the wall, there’s pictures, which are Sunkist, Minions, Soda, and...I can’t tell.
0:21 In a jar, there’s a fetus of Bubby, referencing he was born in Black Mesa, there’s also a Headcrab, and the “Pita Bread Cutter”
0:26 Sunkist can, and a Coca-cola cherry flavored soda can, on the telle, it’s a show trying to identify the father (I do not know the specific show, I just thought it was funny to mention)
0:28 Soda
0:30 A little obvious, but this was the tube Bubby was trapped in, in HLVR:AI Act 3, Part 2.
0:34 Dr. Coomer, with a start up screen
0:38 Benry's username is johnwicklover1994, hinting he’s 26, also Benry and Tommy are playing Counter Strike: Global Offense, but that’s kinda obvious.
0:41 Coomer clones join, with the old Windows maze screen
0:49 Even MORE Coomer clones, at a background of a fighting game.
0:50 Darnold is playing Team Fortress 2, as a Demoknight, hinted by the Australium Eyelander
0:52 Black Mesa silly straw behind Bubby's back, Soda in the background, on the desk are many of those can marks (No idea what their actual name is)
0:56 Only Dr. Coomer remains, covered in blood, at the Game Over screen, meaning he killed his clones
OH NICE FINDS. Yes, also one more in the bit where Freemans on his knees with benrey in the BG is a reference to the BTS footage of Gordon in VR, where he does the weird gibbon stance.
Brad Bradley I just love how much detail you put, you inspire me, even though I don’t animate, or draw.
I can’t draw.
The fighting game and game over screen are from Super Punch Out!!, the game dr. coomer is obsessed with
When it comes to the tiny picture frame in the Chuck e’ Cheese, it looks like a photo of a few people, either 2 or 3. So it could be a family photo of Tommy, G-Man, and I’m guessing Tommy’s mother (if there are 3 people there.)
I love that g-man put a playcoin in the music machine. This is a masterpiece
You must use one Playcoin TM in order to access the music, Gordon!
What? More play puns? Dr. Coomer, we’re out of Black Mesa, I thought we were done with playcoins!

GOD I LOVE THIS SO MUCH i rewatched the twitter version over and over before discovering its here on youtube too and like. im in love. the intro is perfect, i keep catching more little details each time i watch, gordon wiggling around in the ape crouch is Amazing, i love how you draw everybody, im!! THIS IS GOOD!!!
i keep rewatching this. i really love how it captures the general weirdness of hlvrai, a lot of other animatics i see are good but this one specifically stands out because it's just so odd in the best way possible
0:44 had me wheezing... thank you so much!!
BRUH YOU ACTUALLY DID IT THO
ABSOLUTE MADLAD OUT HERE
INCREDIBLE
He had his passport
bro like... the fact you played so heavily into the old 2000s imagery of half life. the way you've drawn em all is my favourite too. like... it just feels like steam and valve. you condensed it all into this video. this rocks dude.
this is incredible. i’ve looked at it for five hours now.
* I AM REWACHING THIS SO MUCH *I LOVE THE EXPRESSIONS* NO ONE ELSE HAS DONE THEM RIGHT THE WAY I WANT THEM IT'S PERFECT*!!! IT'S JUST HOW I IMAGINED IT!!!!🧡
it's 2 years later and i still watch this pretty frequently
My favorite parts are the opening “this is my office and my laboratory” shots and the whole sequence in xen with Benrey singing. Gordon’s horror and disbelief shaking his head and lip syncing “it’s a musical machine!” kills me and in the next part I can never decide between focusing on him or benrey because there’s so much good stuff going on with both.
DUDES, THE COIN FOR E JUKE BOX IS A PLAYCOIN. The attention to detail here is outrageous
its been 3 years why am i still obsessed with this animation
by FAR my favourite fan creation for HLVRAI, it feels so professional and smooth & all the little touches are fantastic (chef kiss) you can feel the love in every frame
Gordon throughout the entire animation is just having a mental breakdown, 10/10 completely accurate
this is incredible you really just went ham???!!
0:47 For some reason I’ve been playing this particular part over and over
Damn.. I'm just amazed at this animation! Hell! It's just gorgeous, honestly, I .. I'm just thrilled!
WOW THIS IS MONUMENTAL BRAD!?? I CANT STOP WATCHING IT
Favorite artist plus my favorite series right now, this is incredible!!
Here after the gnome said “this is my office” and all of chat just fycking did it’s thing
when the line "this animal's programmable" came up I thought they'd said "this edible's incredible" lmao
This is so good, hope that cast can see this!
Okay I need to talk about this
I adore when animators will sacrifice frames for good key posing and staying consistently on model. Clearly you go all in when a gesture needs a lot of motion, but little things like coomer turning to Gordon only needs like a few frames to get the motion across, and personally I think it looks great like this.
And PLEASE MAKE MORE SOME DAY!! I love the way you draw these characters, the style is just 👌
This is awesome !!!! I have watched it about 20 times now ahaha, and damn that music slaps ! The zoom on Benrey while he's playing is such a cool shot, and the opening is legitimately heartwarming
I love the fact that Doctor Coomer is on the coin at the beginning.
I just realized it was a playcoin, thats amazing.
shout out to you for making darnold's palms pale
that is /insane/ detail and you're now my favorite artist
Bubby cage dancing in the tube will be forever in the back of my mind
Dude this RULES! Thank you for making this! More HLVRAI content is always a good time, but this is awesome.
this is SO well made!! i've watched this like 20 times in the past half hour its SO GOOD
Thanks for making benry look like an actual human with an uncanny vibe to him
*violently applauses* amazing animation
"this is my office, and the beats are predatory" is such a sick fucking line
this really captures the entire energy of that series in like... a minute.
Heard about this from a radio interview with the Gothsicles lead. Congratulations on the commission for the album art.
Aw thanks, yeah it was really cool to have that come out of this. It was fun to work on
Oh wow do you have a link to the interview somewhere? Id love to hear what they said
BRAD I CANT EXPRESS THIS ENOUGH BUT THANK YOU
This animation has lowkey changed my life. I use this song as my alarm in the morning and it’s perfect to get up and dance to. Thank u for the beautiful animation! I get so happy when Tommy and Benrey win in CS:GO
This officially lives rent free in my brain forever
Benry's little victory dance while playing cs:go is the sole reason I have watched this many times.
Hooooooooly shit this encompassed the terrifying retro-futuristic vibe of this series perfectly. The slow build up of Coomer's terrifying persona, Wayne's character slowly going mad as Benry torments him, and the psychotic anger of Bubby is perfectly conveyed in less than 1 minute. This is not only the perfect example of telling a story as simply as possible, but also an example of how much meaning art can convey in so much less time that explaining it using words.
This is getting even better than just a meme now out of boredom
This is incredibly well done. I need a whole cartoon series like this.
This is possibly the best fan animation of HLVR that isn't "haha cutesy shipping time fun time" and more of "I actually wanted to make something that expresses how good of an artist and animator I am, and expresses my love for the series in a way that caters to all fans of the series." Proud of you.
Hey, the quarter at the beginning is actually a play coin with Commer's face on it! Nice.
This popping up in my recommended a few months back is what introduced me to HLVRAI in the first place, so now that it's shown up again, I've been reminded to thank you for introducing me to this rabbit hole.
man i feel like i notice something new every time i watch this. i JUST realized that the coin gman puts in the jukebox is a f*cking playcoin
I love this. These are the best depictions of the characters out of all the fan content I've ever seen. You have blessed us...
